How do you think are people who share their emotions openly?

Mostly people who are close to us share their emotions openly with us. Most of the times they are our friends. A friend is one such breed of animals who share a lot of personal things with their friends. Even their family members may not be knowing what their friends know.
But I have seen even those people who don't think twice before sharing some personal things with us even when the rapport or the bonding isn't to that level where such sharing is understandable.
How do you compare these two kinds of people?

I would refrain from judging or comparing, Each one is different when it comes to emotions handling and emotional maturity. Some are okay sharing it with people who are not so close while others don't even share it with the closest ones. And at times it can be so overwhelming for someone to handle that they can blurt out anywhere and in front of anyone. And even the most controlled people can have that stage sometimes.

When does blurting happen? I think when there's no proper way out. At at particular time or when the situation demands they should be able to release themselves. Only then this blurting kind of thing won't happen. And your last sentence makes complete sense. If you have heard there have been a couple of examples where people in the spiritual field have sadly ended their lives.

@abhi_bangal Sad but true! We live in an era of overwhelming demands and mental illness. Loneliness is rampant. Invisible mental illness is rampant. Family bonds and relationship concepts are changing and becoming more casual. Real friends are no more, it's more virtual friends. The emotional anchoring is loosing it's foot in this digital era

@arunima25 Virtual friends don't come, and real friends don't find time to come. The communication has gone next level, but no one wants to connect. Back then, calls were charged per second, and we had ask much to talk.
I think no one but we are to blame ourselves for everything that's wrong today. We (not necessarily we) may talk daily on forums or such platforms, but how many times have we met our digital friends in person...?

I feel like some people tend to quickly share their problems with others, even if they're not that close, maybe thinking others can relate. Some people are naturally trusting, while others might share their issues with strangers due to the overwhelming stress in their lives.

@Soobinah That's exactly what I was saying. Safe sharing. And no one in your circle would know

Another upside of sharing with strangers is that they know that whatever they are sharing can't be exposed in their own circle. Because that stranger isn't a part of his/her friend circle or relatives.

@abhi_bangal i guess, they think that it is safe to share with a stranger because they know that they will never share it with other whom you know too.

People are different. Its normal that there are those who open their hearts to people they are close with because they trust them.
On the other hand, there are also people who can openly share their emotions even to those who are not closest to them. I don't have any problem with that. I am not also in any position to judge them. They have their reasons in doing so and that must be respected.

The world is full of a variety of people. There are some people who openly share their emotions if they feel that someone is worth talking to. On the other hand, there are some people who don't express their feelings even in their own circle.

I think there is a difference in sharing personal info and showing emotions.
I would rather people show emotions than keep everything hidden and bottled up inside….but I don’t like the people who go over the top just for show.
Sharing personal details about things should be for family and close friends only ….but again some people feel they want to share everything. That is too much I think.

Sharing comes naturally to some people, I think. And even they don't know when it goes over the head. Probably, the flow they speak too much and even that, which they shouldn't.
Opening up to an extent is ok and should be done.

I can bet on this. Because I have been seeing you for quite sometime now, I know that what you are saying here is 200% true.

I'm sorry to hear about your mother. Mother is always a special person in our lives. Quite a few people prefer not to talk about their personal problems or anything outside their circle.

That’s such an interesting observation—and one many of us can relate to. On one hand, there are those close friends who’ve earned trust over time. They’ve seen us through ups and downs, so it feels natural and safe for them to open up. That kind of sharing comes with history, understanding, and a quiet sense of mutual respect.
Then there are others who seem to skip the steps and go straight into personal territory, even when the bond isn’t that deep. Sometimes it’s surprising, even awkward—but not always in a bad way. For some, it may come from needing an outlet, or maybe they feel a certain kind of energy from you that makes them feel safe, even without a strong connection yet.
Both types say a lot about human nature—some guard their emotions tightly, while others wear them on their sleeves. Neither is right or wrong—it just reminds us how differently people carry and share their inner worlds.
